Second Quarter 2014comScore achieved record quarterly revenue of $80.0 million. GAAP loss before income taxes was $2.7 million; and GAAP net loss was $3.2 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, which primarily reflects the accrual of contingent losses expected from the tentative settlement related to comScore's outstanding privacy class-action litigation which was reported in our Form 8-K dated May 30, 2014.

Second quarter and year to date 2014 metrics compared to results for the second quarter and year to date in the prior year* were as follows:

Second quarter revenues of $80.0 million, up 14% from a year ago.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $16.7 million, up 20% from a year ago.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 21% of revenue, as compared to 20% in the same quarter of 2013.

Year to date revenues of $156.9 million, up 13% from the same period in 2013 and up 14% on a pro forma basis*.

Year to date adjusted EBITDA of $32.1 million, up 20% from the same period in 2013 and up 21% from a year ago on a pro forma basis*.

* comScore divested its Non-Health Copy Testing and Configuration Manager products in March 2013. All year-to-date 2013 pro forma growth rates included in the foregoing reflect adjustments to exclude the company's Non-Health Copy Testing and Configuration Manager products for the purposes of consistent presentation and are based on management's estimates of the revenue and results of operations of such products. See Reconciliation of Revenue and Income before Income Taxes to Non-GAAP Revenue, non-GAAP Income and Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the attachment to this press release.

Serge Matta, comScore’s president and chief executive officer, said, “Our strong performance in the second quarter reflects continued sharp execution on comScore’s key strategic priorities and positive momentum across our business. vCE continues to be a leader in digital measurement as we advance our long-term, strategic partnerships with Yahoo and Google to provide essential digital, mobile and video analytics to global advertisers seamlessly.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasurescomScore reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). comScore believes, however, that evaluating its ongoing operating results will be enhanced if it also discloses certain non-GAAP information because it is useful to understand comScore's performance, as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors believe may obscure comScore's on-going operating results.

The company believes that excluding certain costs from non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful indication to investors of the expected on-going operating performance of the company. Specifically as it relates to acquisitions and restructurings, the exclusion of these costs reflects the expected benefits realized or to be realized upon the integration of acquired entities into comScore, and the realized benefits of the restructurings. In addition, the company believes that adjusting for the pro forma effect of the sale of the company's non-health copy testing products in March 2013 promotes better comparability of the company's financial statements.

Whenever comScore uses such historical non-GAAP financial measures, it provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included in the financial tables accompanying this release. Although the company provides a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, such as tax rates and stock price, comScore is unable to provide a complete reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. However, a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to GAAP income (loss) before income taxes is set forth in the attachment to this press release.

These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. The use of certain non-GAAP financial measures requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. comScore bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
